Is work stressful? Why?

Work itself is not very stressful, for the most part I know exactly what to do and how to do it, there are no real surprises or stressful things.

What stresses me about work is that its not exactly what I would want to do. I would want to be independent, and it is something that I am working towards.

I am building myself up to be more independent so that I wont have to be employed, but, waking up in the morning, knowing that I am going to go work a full day for someone else company does cause a lot of stress.
